Beef, forage featured at field day, Sept. 22, on MU Thompson Farm

"AI Moves to Tier Two" will be the lead talk at a Sept. 22 field day at University of Missouri’s Thompson Farm, a 1,600-acre research farm in northwest Grundy County.

David Patterson, MU Extension beef specialist, will describe progress in improving carcass quality and other beef traits by using timed artificial insemination, or "breeding by appointment." He has conducted breeding research on Thompson Farm’s 300-cow herd since 1998.
